The Ting Ting's (LIVE): Shut Up & Let Me Go - SXSW

[amberenergy2525]

reminds me of blondie a little. She looks like Debbie Harry a little!

[eessydo]

I love how they keep panning to the 8 people having fun. You would think in Austin they would have somewhat of a clue.

[gecomaman]

fucking hell ive been to a lot of concerts but iv'e never seen such a shit crowd

[TheCoronaChannel]

The bass is recorded, this song its no complete "live"

[tmcknuckle]

@TheCoronaChannel so are the synths, 2 person band, it's common

[miller619619]

306 the crowd is going crazy

[ECxSkating]

She gave me my prescription.........for more cowbell

[LibertyAtStake]

So ... go!

[XJoannaXMiley3X]

I love the tings tings nd katies voice its unique...bad crowd not ment 4 this show XX

[BaNkAiTyO]

bad, anyway the plastic performance :(

[kasocaso]

her voice in annoying

[Spac3man88]

Those people are in the wrong concert and in the wrong time of their lives.. LAME! What a waste these guys rocks... and the crowd should be rocked!

[ARAGORN2678]

Torride

[genobee01]

i thought there were more people in their band, i at least thought a bass player lol

[JackDiablo]

@genobee01 Nah, I'm pretty sure the bass is synth'ed. :D

[agnessVN]

this audience really sucks... When I was at their concert at Opener Festival,I just simply couldn't stay still! It's impossible!

[Gabbyjo11]

@agnessVN They're like that in Japan too. They just sit there and hold their applause until the end. It's pretty polite, if you think about it. But I went to a concert and couldn't hold in my excitment either xD

[agnessVN]

@Gabbyjo11 Wow I had no idea,and I can't imagine that here ;]

Back at Opener,the moment when Katie came on the stage(Jules was already playing) people got really wild!And that was AWESOME:D I can't wait to see them again,I need their energy ;)

[twooplustwoo]

these guys are amazing especially for only having two people in the band!! and the drummer is pretty dam hot :P xD

[dillonichols1]

these guys deserve better than this!!! fucking crowd... oh well they still rock the fucking house with or without a crowd!

[fatman431able]

shes got a lil swag goin there hot

[chica476]

she can't sing worrth a damn.

[Wildcat101414]

DUH---Do they even know who they are? The audience seems stunned...typical late to the party southwestern USA crowd. Must be the redneck's of america concert. Come to the Northeast USA and they'll get the attention they deserve from the crowd. Can't match the V Festival in England though...now that's an energized crowd.

[KostheimerStar]

Crowd = "Shut up" not for you!!! OMG they sleppin???

[anasponit]

17 people were in that crowd that day.

[crimerookie]

She isn't the greatest singer obviously, but she still kicks kate perry's azz along with at least 90% of your average pop "stars". The show is original and energetic. Crowd FTL.

[WhyIAm7]

@crimerookie dude katy perry is a REALLY good singer. you can't lie. look up her unplugged stuff. yeah she doesn't make the best pop music but she can sing

[djsexty]

TERRIBLE I prefer the v festival one!! That's better

!

[MickeyLove01]

can't deliver live, her voice replies on too much studio production

[mountain151]

Sure her voice doesnt carry well live but its real and original much rather that than another pop Idol taped out of a mold

[Xantrokoles]

That's the 10th live video where I can't find the Bass dude...

Where is he? Who is he ? Why doesn't he stand on stage?

[karoweber]

laaammeee crowd

[doalwa]

Hmmm...hmmmmmmmmm...where's the funky chicken-scratch Guitar from the Album Version?

[GianlucaBlack]

awesome.

[xhakex]

good stuff

[Matiskc]

The drummer's vision is obviously augmented.

[partypack29]

90 people missed the dislike button.

[enyvl]

Finally a live performance that has enough cowbell.

[gsrocco]

Zombie Crowd?

[AGFashionAcademy]

wow. as much as i love the ting tings songs, they just arent good live. she sounds like a......man T_T

[guitarsoloist07]

@taveon12 Maybe I need to use quote marks, because apparently you can't tell that I'm quoting the original poster, who said "why is she speaking with a British accent when she is not even British". To which I replied "she is, she's English". Got it? Are we good?

[guitarsoloist07]

@taveon12 I don't understand why you're even arguing with me. The original poster was sounding annoyed that she speaks with a "British accent" when she's not even British. She's English. Therefore she is British. Now maybe I missed something, but my comment was to basically say that she is in fact English, because the OP made it sound as though she was American, or Canadian, or hell, even Russian. That's really the only way it can be taken.

[guitarsoloist07]

@taveon12 What the hell are you talking about? England is part of Britain, which means she has a BRITISH accent. It's like saying why does Avril Lavigne sing with a North American accent, she's not NORTH AMERICAN she's from Canada... duh, same thing. My frickin' fiance is British.

[giggs102]

.... sounds so different frm album version.. they sersiosuly cant play live...go feeder!.. and im pretty sure ima get a shitload of thumbs down and shit.. but fuck im saying the truth.. listen to real bands live nirvana or feeder..

[Idsard2007]

She's holding that chord tight...just like Prince.

Cause she cant play except that chord.

[KalidescopeKreations]

shes not even brittish so why does she fricken sing with a brittish accent?!

[cristybm]

@KalidescopeKreations its sounds special;)

[MASKANDPLAY]

@KalidescopeKreations yea she is british

[guitarsoloist07]

@KalidescopeKreations Uhhh... what? Look her up on Wikipedia before you go making retarded accusations.

[elbebedetaita]

laaaaame =/ there are more people playin' ... don't fake it anymore

[thebkaym]

great live

[mickeyperfectboy]

Yo opino que fue una mierda ese publico

mas apagado que mi mierda caray

[Jasmin8698]

The Song is horrible, and the voice too

Sorry, She can't sing

[ozzypdl]

@Jasmin8698 why are you watching it then?

[dportass]

maybe because the only instrument that it looks like she is actually playing is the cow bell

[6allgemeiner6sheich6]

american Avril vs brit kathie whose more beautifull?

[kavi089]

the audience of cold souls...

[bloodletinthe]

hmmmmm there's guitar in the last part but she's not playing

interesting.......playing air guitar with a real guitar is lame

good song though

[xXpenguinattack14Xx]

lol cowbell...

[Skimpledimple]

Ripoff of Blondie "Rapture"

[ginonater]

very talented band!

[camilotheHALOgod]

People are enjozing this sooo much , just look at how crazy they fuck around

[849738]

why does the crowd just stand there doing ... nothing?

[nomanleft4me]

she is like modern blondie to me... I like this alot

[Xxxyzyz5698]

How come I always miss the good concerts at SXSW? I LIVE in Austin.

[Circus2999]

@Xxxyzyz5698 lol

[jimmatze1234]

its not just 2 guys on the stage

there is still a bass and a synthesizer

i hope, you know that ;)

[Nanortiz]

wow, u are amazing, i can't even imagine there are other people playing those insts. bah, pathetic

[dabayloverer]

@jimmatze1234

no the bass is controlled by the pedals on the ground

[daisydee123]

REP UK :)

[TakmeOot]

ok I meant that it looks hard doing it with two people, im not insulting them saying that they cant.

But I dont think they suck either.

[FRANKIELALALA]

all the SXSW crowds are BORING katys,jason mraz's...ALL OF THEM lol i think they are professionals though

[orangenote76]

rofl. i know it's a concert and it's susposed to be upbeat. but constantly bouncing? SPAZ!

[TakmeOot]

they did good, because imagine how hard that is with two people

the crowd does suckk

[nmd1983fordrums]

hard with two people? look at the "white stripes" or the "black keys." both groups have two people, and they, unlike this band- do not suck. i bet if she didn't look like a barbie, she would be working at a walmart.

[calvinjamc]

Do you call that singing?

[nmd1983fordrums]

awful. they can make a living doing this?

[kyngi1969]

It's mild taste.

[AnarchistGoth]

shes not that great live.

[Sebtastical]

Can't tell you for sure, but to me they shound nervous.

But you can tell... after all the US is a very different demmographic i bet they were terrified :') And this is her worst perform. ive ever seen tbh, she's usually a lottta better!

[reindeerman8212]

i agree... you can see she jumps alot xD

but i still love her!!!

[007criss007]

i like that..

[pinkperth]

The audience must have really taken the 'Shut Up' part seriously!

[sanferdaniel]

.lol

[funkymunkymadness]

Totaly Argree lol

[BroodjeAap88]

@pinkperth lol

[Volodioso]

@pinkperth The crowd who attend these TV gigs are paid for it and sometimes they didn't even like the band!! If I found out 'bout these gigs..:!!!

[hnaht321]

she doesn't need to yell n deepen her voice when she has a mic

[Krausen2]

TERRIBLE crowd, lol the crowd is like a bunch of corpses : D, nice performancethou ; D.

[kmusicxo]

wow. terrible crowd....

[OzzyowaR]

The performance is good, but definitely not the crowd.

[dialore]

maybe the voice might not be the best, but they are talented and unique:)

[Mateluszeek]

Yee, It's true ; )

[travelearboy]

unique, but not talented in singing. it's like going on a date with a hot chick and then she opens her mouth.

[ConverseRock1000]

so true.

[Altrockpwner123]

&&MORE COWBELL! lol

[Altrockpwner123]

singin live is hard as fuck...so give em a break i geuss? at least they actually write their music...like... *hanahh montana *cough*

[1paige11]

hanahh montana is kool BUT *i like here* BUT she is for like 10 year old....so if your a 10 year old GET OFF YOUTUBE NOW OR ILL TELL ON YOU >:D

[Altrockpwner123]

im actualy 15.well almost 15...lol

[vavadu31000]

I like this!

[morphix007]

croud is shit boring

[lougould]

Listen to their first CD.....The rhythms are great, thesongs are terrific examples of modern pop. They are also a fresh, unique act, using a minimalist approach to their music, yet providing just enough to make it all work. Maybe not for everyone, but I am a big fan!

[beadbitch01]

Hey they aren't that bad...this music is fun to dance to but then again maybe you guys don't like to dance...

[stephenburtondepp]

I love to dance! Sorry, that was a bit random.

[dionloke93]

i think they should quit singing!~ i think they sing for the sake of SINGING! tats my comment! o.o

[SunsetRubdownz]

ting tings is one of those groups where... i don't want to like them... but shit i can't help it! haha... i suppose that means they're a good band... they demand to be liked against my will.

[hunter11000]

IT would seem that you no longer have to be talented at your instruments to make it big......Dream Theater or Ting Tings, I have a feeling music is in a decline, and pop is IN!

[xxthewrekoningxx]

is there something wrong with Pop?

[etothedtotheward]

hes blind!!!!

jk jk idk is he

[unemployabledrunk]

do people actually pay to see this stuff..?  i'd wear shades too..!

[Nakis25]

Shes like, slurring her words?

[alexILMN]

she is damn sexy

[omagazone]

i would spread her legs and eat her pussy untill it fell off and then break his arm off and ram it up her arse

[lilmissroxy95]

she cant sing

[Bananaboy110]

everyone has there own taste of music if you don't like this don't watch or write bad stuff about it!if you do you have no life!!!THEY ROCK I WUV THEM!!^_^

[p825uzkz]

super

[JordanaFdzMusic]

are they NEW to the music business???

[puddingwater]

if you people dont the ting tings, then why the heck would you be listening to their music in the first place!

that prooves that you dont have any life what so ever!

your not have as good as them-especialy if you are stupid miley cyrus

so com on loosers! go diss someone elses stuff!

(it'll save you embarrasment!!)

:)

[ILoveTwoBike]

wow.

this girl is a failure on so many levels.

haha

she butchers that guitar.

sounds like a trainwreck.

[miwsher]

Bet she could pull a crowd better than you ever could though. ;)

[geekinthepink311]

she is awesum.

just saw them live less than 48 hours ago!

i love the live soound of the ting tings!

[dirrtybubbles]

oohh myy god shes soo fucking bad live! she sings the song way to low like a man, the guy has a higher pitched voice, in her music video she had the perfect singing tone. but here no

[redpandaluver]

well she isnt that bad i'll admit she sounds better in the music video but its still her voice

[anamikaleia]

I really don't think you people should say this is necessarily 'bad' music, or even compare it to the Beatles, just because they're from the UK. I mean, good music is really based on each person's tastes, so back off the Ting Tings. They ARE good and talented in their own way, which is indie pop/rock by the way, so just let them perform and be creative however they want to.

[RyanTF2]

what the hell has music become?

[RabbidSquirrel556]

Rashy3000, the Beatles had 4 members up stage playing. The Ting Ting's, however, have 2.

They also record stuff and play it onstage like bass for example. They have a completely different playing style.

[jakesbrain]

Nothing wrong with that. Fuck, even They Might Be Giants used to play to backing tracks at their live shows -- it was part of their schtick in the early days.

[7Z7IZ7Z]

I love her little shuffle dance :D

[Lizzaxy]

they're great live.

[Rashy3000]

ahh in all fairness..theres nothing bad with this music, it just doesnt reach the standard of great music, like i duno for example the beatles..the ting tings are different..clearly they know nothign about music, there not that talented...but they are creative..adn thats all you need

[learo05]

Did you just compare the Ting Tings to the Beatles??

Just kidding! You would have to be pretty creative to get on stage, especially with only two people in your band.

[SeChabal]

She just needs to improve her technique cause shes got everything else and sure has the talent

[sparks18190]

no she really doesnt, what happened to people actually making good music?

[rebmatt2003]

Thank you! I'm glad you agree with me. I'm from Austin (where this was filmed) and still live here. I get SO ANNOYED when I go to a show and people just stand there and act afraid to show that they are really enjoying themselves. Pull the carrot out of your asses!!! Music is supposed to make you happy! Act like it!

[badwhodo]

MORE COWBELL!!1

[rebmatt2003]

The audience is so boring... I mean, fucking cheer, or something! Scream, shout, raise your arms, something! Don't just stand there and dance from side to side....jump up and down! Jeez!

[xPoptartt]

Mhm. Exactly.

She's putting so much of her energy into this performance- you can tell. But the crowd is just staring, like, "Duhh... absorb the music..." :/

[bryndilin]

damn she got funky on that cowbell!!!! i luv the ting tings!!

[ChemicalBlady]

She knows how to hit a cowbell!

[JoseStev]

To be fair the ting tings a terrible band.

[MGMTluva]

wahooo the ting tings rock and SO DOES THE SONG !!!! and its almost better live !!!

[jumpermh]

This is a weird song anyway but live...it sucks!

[HNburtongrl005]

oh my gosh this crowd is so lame!! all they do is stand there!!!!!!

[bbqjudge]

they're probably in shock cuz the band's so lame...

[rgmztxy]

lol

[ElanaJ2]

i thought that!

lol
